tiger 1 early production build

Excellent work! The air cleaners and chains are fine examples of scratch building. Very nice creativity with the convoy light. I’ve read that despite common belief that original German convoy lights were green but after 70 years the lenses took on a blue tint. I probably research too much.

Don't tell me that jimster there glued in now but in all honesty, blue looks cool and this is a perfectly persevered 78 year old tiger so it's ok the lights faded from green to blue that's my excuse with the rivet counters

This subject of colour has come up a few times, the simple answer is from what I have learnt is it’s not clear if it was blue or green. It may be one of those details lost in history.

I do like the way you have mounted yours, that is a brilliant yet simple solution

Cheers WB44! Yeah we may never know, but as long as it look relatively realistic it's ok by me am not as super detailed as some of the builds on here, wish I was but I get by

So who said removing the left hand aerial tube was easy! I read somewhere in here yonks ago you could just cut it/peel it off, well you can but you have to spend ages slicing along the bottom/side but after much precision slicing hey presto!
